During China's 24th Antarctic scientific exploration, China's expedition team successfully launched a field experiment for the expedition robot: the first in China's more than 20 years of Antarctic exploration. Training a robot as a human "substitute" to support scientific research is also a task being competitively researched in many countries.
The photograph shows an on-site, test of the low-altitude aerial robot. This low-altitude aerial robot has a 3.2 meter wingspan; weighs 20 kilograms; can carry 5 kg of scientific instruments; and can fly at a speed of 90-110 km per hour; and can fly at a minimum of 150 meters above ground while on automatic pilot.
